LESSON 98: CROSS POINT AND FRAME

Tutorial for cross stitch and square:

With this tutorial for bow stitch you will be able to make cross and square stitch you will see a reversible cross stitch so that it forms a line of crosses on the right side of the piece and a line of squares on the back.

It works from top to bottom.

Fig A: Start with the excess knot method. Take the needle out at 1, put it in 2, take it out at 3, put it in 4, take it out at 2, and put it back in 1. Three sides of a square are formed on the reverse.

Fig. B: Put the needle in 1, take it out in 5 and put it back in 3. Take it out again in 6 to start the next repetition. On the right a second cross stitch is completed, and a second square is formed on the reverse. Repeat the steps shown in Figures B and C. When the line is complete, cut a knot at the beginning and run the end along the back of the stitches of the first square.

From here we invite you to try it and you will be surprised by the effect. I encourage you to try and you will love it.

Follow the tutorial step by step and you will see how while you are sewing you can think of other ways to make other stitches, even combined with all the ones that I am putting here. You can use it both in borders, as in curtains, sheets, towels etc. or as a simple ornament point in one of your paintings. It is best to follow the video step by step here:

Materials

• You need a sharp pointed needle. In your trusted haberdashery they can advise you on this.
• Thimble, we know that it is not easy to get used to it, but the earlier you adapt, the better, you will avoid many punctures.
• Special thread for sewing. Or you can also use fine crochet yarn if it is to decorate something
• Frame, there are made of wood, plastic and silicone. Lately I spend the silicone ones because I like them better, but that goes to taste.
• Light, the more the better and to be able to be natural
